I am hoping to contact the actual photographer of this photo, and I’m wondering if your may know of this, or if the source who supplied your photo does?

I’m hoping to use this picture in a documentary about White Sharks to highlight the problem of bycatch and how these sharks are accidentally caught even though this was unintended.

Can you help please? Thank you.

Jason

False Bay is big enough for them to fish outside the boundaries of the MPA.
Sad about the loss of the shark but it may be enough to force the Whelk fishery further into the bay and out of the MPA zone.
